The paper investigates how group size in stingless bees influences the presence of gut symbionts, finding that larger colonies are more likely to harbor specific bacteria.

This study examines how habitat and substrate use influence the morphological evolution of adhesive discs and skull shape in clingfishes, finding that transitions to coral reefs increase evolutionary rates while shifts to softer substrates constrain disc shapes.

This study examines how two innovations in deep-sea dragonfishes affect their evolutionary rates and diversification patterns.

The paper analyzes skull diversification in eupercarian fishes, showing habitat and trophic ecology independently shape skull shape, with rapid evolution in certain clades and convergence in freshwater lineages.

This study compares adaptive radiations in two pupfish populations, finding limited genetic parallelism and highlighting the role of de novo mutations in driving rapid diversification.

The paper examines how pre-existing genetic constraints in generalist populations may limit adaptive divergence in two Caribbean Cyprinodon pupfish radiations, finding congruence between intraspecific variance and interspecific divergence axes.
